Yes, and also I should stop hanging out with them I don't do drugs because I have an uncle that does, and I've seen what it can do to a person believe me, it's not pretty

so you think all drugs are the same? you're the type of person in all those "don't do drugs kids" videos like really are you that ignorant? pot doesn't kill you or eat up your flesh like some of the nastier stuff on the market, and from what you told us these "friends" of yours just do pot. there is no harm in being friends with potheads

In addition, smoking Pot is legal in North Korea [Source] and common in Jamaica. Both are terrible countries that I'd never want to visit. (For those who don't know, Jamaica isn't only a common place for crime, but also for beating and killing homeschoolers.

You guys all suck, my answer is the best. Someone who is doing something awesome is better than someone who isn't doing something awesome, regardless of which of them is or isn't on drugs. Look at your 11 friends. Are they doing something awesome? Yes? Good, they can keep being friends. No? Get new friends. The end.

Yeah, at your age staying away from pot, as well as drugs, is a good idea. Do something constructive with your time as was mentioned. As you get older you may realize that adults tend to over-exaggerate things and outright lie to you and you might change your mind about what you choose to do with your free time, but for now, there's no reason to involve yourself in something that will change your life in a way that could be negative. Although I am pro-marijuana, I think that it shouldn't be used by underage people just like alcohol. It's nothing that at your age you should be messing with. Stay away from those kinds of influences and focus on your studies and getting good grades. Get into a good college , where you will undoubtedly become exposed to these things, moderate your life, graduate, get a good job and THEN use your judgement about what you choose to do. I've been there, and done that...I don't do that now. I've got a great job, a beautiful girlfriend and a massive Lego collection, I found that I don't need pot to be happy. I think it has a place in the world, but 9th grade isn't that place. Be strong and achieve a good life.

I play with Lego because professional architectural creativity is stifled by bureaucrats, fools and reality.

I liked your answer, but I thought I would refrain from quoting it and saying "This".

Unless there are weird chemicals involved, weed doesn't kill brain cells, alcohol does. But don't get hooked on drugs in school, you probably wont be able to afford them unless you have a job. McDonalds doesn't count, and I doubt you actually work there because you have to be 16 to work there.

Nah, it just kills your motivation center. Which is why you see 40-year-old potheads still working at mcdonald's and sleeping on the couch. This is why the awesomeness standard is so important. Potheads are complete fucking losers at a higher percentage than non-potheads, but it's not direct cause and effect. It's way more important to keep track of who the losers are than to keep track of which of them are potheads.
